***Zach's P.O.V.***

I sat on the plane, waiting anxiously for it to land. I was so excited to see Natalie and Rachael for Christmas, I haven't seen them since their wedding.

"Hey," my colleague Simon from the Yoggscast said, "thanks for letting me come along with you." I gave him a smile.

"No problem," I replied. The only reason I brought him along was because him family went away without him, and I felt bad. I also brought my sister, Abby, because I have a feeling she would kill me if I didn't. Slowly I drifted into a sleep and slept until the plane landed when my sister woke me up.

"HEY!" Abby yelled right in my ear. "WAKE UP IDIOT!" I jolted awake and Simon stared at me as I did.

"What?!" I yelled standing up and grabbing my luggage. I gave Abby an evil look as we stepped off the plane.

"What's wrong," she said with a laugh. I just gave her another glare.

***My P.O.V.***

I was wrapping one of Ian's Christmas gifts when I heard a knock at the door. I wondered who it could be. I opened the door and was surprised to see Zach and Abby standing with their luggage, and somebody else.

"Uh..." I stammered, "hey guys. Come in." I was really confused and was puzzled who that other man was with them.

"Hey Nat," Abby said giving me a hug. I hugged her back. Zach gave me a small wave and so did the other guy.

"Who's your friend," I said with a half smile.

"Oh!" Zach exclaimed pointing at his friend, "This is Simon! He's my colleague." Simon extended his hand for a handshake and I gave him one.

"Nice to meet you," I replied. "Just a few more questions," I said with a touch of hesitation.

"Yeah?" Abby responded.

"Why are you here? And why is Simon with you?"

"Well," Zach started, "Abby and I wanted to see you for Christmas..."

"And my family went away without me and Zach was nice enough to let me come with him. I hope it's not a problem," Simon said looking at the floor.

"No, no," I said touching Simon's shoulder, "It's okay."

"Thanks," he said with a smile.

 "Last question," I said pointing at their bags, "Why do you have your luggage?"

Zach cleared his throat. "I was hoping we could stay with you?" I sighed.

"Maybe," I answered them. "But first I would need Ian, Rachael, and Anthony's permission. I don't get to make those decisions."

"Oh..." they all said in unison looking at the floor.

"You can wait here until they get home, though. I'm the only one home right now," I reassured them. They all smiled and I told them they could sit on the couch. I got back to wrapping Ian's present. Just as I was putting on the last piece of tape, Ian walked into the room. I quickly ran over to him and covered his eyes with my hands.

He laughed and asked me, "What are you doing?"

"I don't want you to see your Christmas gift one day before Christmas!" I exclaimed. I walked him over to the table and put the last piece of tape on while still covering his eyes. I removed my hands and told him, "You can look now." I bent down and carefully placed the gift under the fake tree. I saw a look of surprise on Ian's face as he saw Zach, Abby, and Simon sitting on our couch.

"Hey Zach, Abby, and...." Ian paused, not knowing who Simon was.

"My name's Simon," he said standing up to shake Ian's hand. I watched as Ian awkwardly put out his hand and Simon grabbed it and started shaking it.

"Nice to meet you, Simon," Ian said pulling his hand away from the handshake. Right then, Rachael and Anthony walked through the door with groceries.

"Hey guys," I said walking over to the kitchen to get some water.

"Hi," Rachael responded setting down one of the bags on the counter. She looked up, saw Abby and immediately dropped the bag in her hands. "ABBY!" she exclaimed and ran over to her. They hugged, and then she saw Simon. "And you are?" she questioned him. Simon explained himself again, and why he was here.

"So can we stay here?" Zach asked. "We don't have a hotel room or anything."

"Sure," Anthony replied. They all rejoiced. "But," he continued, "there's only one bed in our spare room." Zach, Abby, and Simon all looked at each other, trying to figure out what to do.

"I guess Abby and I could take the bed," Zach replied. "It's only right. I don't want my sister in the same bed as Simon, and I'm sure not sleeping in a bed with another guy." I noticed a kind of sad look on Simon's face as Zach finished his sentence. I wondered why.
